.hack//The Movie: Sekai no Mukou ni · review
First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile. ------ ✦Story The usual jam with .hack franchise. New characters, MMO world, people get stuck and lose consciousness, finding the cause, solving it. It was good enough story, enjoyable, had fair amount of action and pacing felt right for the most part. ✦Art&Sound Art is like watching some Anime MMORPG story cutscenes, awkward at times but overall felt quite good. Game menus and such things were a great touch for an MMO anime. Music&OST I love as usually in hack franchise. Not Kajiura this time, but KOKIA is as well superb Artist.✦Character
I don't have to say much regarding characters. There were plainer ones and more interesting ones. Main cast was oddly plain, whilst bunch of side characters were quite intriguing.
✦Enjoyment&Overall
Fun MMO world with really cool dungeon/raid'esque part. Story was the usually .hack, characters were okay, music superb, so why not, did enjoy it. Yes, I did finish 1:50hr movie in a hour or so, as I sat behind PC, and when I watch Anime whilst sitting at PC I have tendency to skip forwards. But in the end I did enjoy the movie.
